Biochemical plasticity in seaweeds: assessment and optimisation of high value compounds
(2016-02-16)
Macroalgae are important primary producers and habitat forming organisms of the marine coastal zone. In response to different environmental parameters, the chemical composition of macroalage can change as an acclimation ...
Development of glucose-oxidising enzyme electrodes for application in glucose|oxygen powered enzymatic fuel cells
(2016-02)
The objective of this thesis is to investigate different strategies for the optimisation
of biocatalytic anodes with a view to developing a semi- or fully implantable,
miniature, membrane-less enzymatic fuel cell via ...
Methamphetamine exposure during pregnancy: Neurodevelopmental consequences for the offspring
(2016-04-05)
Methamphetamine (MA) abuse during pregnancy is a significant concern worldwide. Improving our understanding of the consequences of such exposure on the child is paramount and animal models provide an alternative method of ...
Public food consumption and sustainable food systems: Exploring the role of large organisations
(2016-11-10)
Sustainable food is increasingly recognised for its potential to contribute to the development of resilient and healthy global urban and rural communities. The prominence of sustainable food on political agendas worldwide ...
An examination of diathesis and its didactic practices in Latin grammars from late antiquity to the early Middle Ages
(2016-12-21)
This thesis traces the origin and development of the category of diathesis (or voice) in Antiquity. According to modern linguistic theory, diathesis is a verbal category which describes the relationship between the action ...
Sediment mobility modelling and hydrodynamic properties of maerl
(2016-11-11)
Sediment mobility modelling is a useful tool for scientifically robust marine spatial planning and characterisation of the benthic disturbance regime. As a prerequisite to modelling sediment transport of free living coralline ...
Developing marine management strategies against regional eutrophication in Caribbean small island nations with limited financial and logistical resources
(2016-09-01)
Coral reefs are threatened globally, with habitat degradation and associated resource losses of primary concern. In the Caribbean region these losses have been increasingly well documented over the last forty years, but ...
Development of a gene-eluting stent for the treatment of in-stent restenosis
(2016-05-12)
In-stent restenosis (ISR) results from stent-induced arterial injury, characterized by a complex cascade of cellular and biochemical events. The removal of endothelium during an angioplasty procedure causes the underlying ...
Image and video quality in the automotive environment
(2016-05-12)
This thesis is concerned with the development of methodologies for image and
video quality assessment for the automotive environment, and the use of those methodologies
for evaluating the effect of image and video ...
Investigation of microbial community structure and function underpinning grass and food waste anaerobic digestion
(2016-08-18)
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of feedstocks, such as grass and food waste, presents a sustainable and cost efficient technology for the generation of bioenergy and value added products. However, to fully optimize the process, ...
